BISTROT PLUME REVIEWS
Been here multiple times and not once has it disappointed! Staff are very attentive and friendly.Tried the set menu for dinner, was absolutely fabulous! Can’t give enough praise to the chef and anyone else involved with the meals. meals were so creative! We got to try multiple entrees, beautifully cooked ribeye steak and dessert. Left so full! Wish I’d taken more photos as I’d love to capture all the wonderful foods, but only thought by dessert when absolutely stuffed to take a photo. Will definitely be coming back.
Bistrot Plume is the reason you should only award your five-star ratings sparingly. We tend to rate a venue a five just because everything is "good". So, what do you do when you come across a place that's truly exceptional? Bistrot Plume is such a place. Obviously the highlight was the duck à l'orange. It was outstanding. But so was everything else. The procession of terrines, sourdoughs, ceviches, oysters, patè, burnished asparagus... Oh lawdy, the duck fat spuds! The wines (not exorbitantly priced). The venue is convivial and unprepossessing. The staff, knowledgeable, calm, polite and unhurried. For a very special dining experience in Geelong, there are few others that come close to Bistrot Plume.
Honestly the best dining experience I’ve had for years. Food, drinks atmosphere all 10/10. And the Rib Eye with De Paris Butter was the best steak I’ve ever eaten. Recommend getting the chef’s selection / banquet option.

LA CACHETTE BISTROT REVIEWS
It’s always a good predictor of a great meal when you walk in to be greeted by the beautiful aromas of fresh bread, butter and cheese! It’s a small place with a team of three who go a good job at making you feel welcomed. Everything on the 3 course menu was outstanding, fresh and delicious. The wine list consists of mixture of French and local wines, our French reds matched well with the food. Definitely say yes to the cheese course. It was a pleasant surprise that there is no surcharge for dining on a Sunday. Thanks for a great lunch!
Love everything about this place! Thank you for creating a truly unique dining experience. The chefs are wonderful and you can tell they put their heart and soul into this place. Will keep coming back as the dishes change regularly.
This place has to be the best in Geelong (and arguably in the state)! A small team of professionals welcome you into their space with a genuine sense of hospitality. The atmosphere is convivial, a concise wine list - focusing mainly on small French producers. And the food has such a deft handed display of solid cooking in tune with the seasons. Great value for a dining experience of this calibre.

FELIX RESTAURANT REVIEWS
OUTSTANDING. So happy I finally had the chance to visit. I took mum for her 71st birthday and she said it’s the best dining experience she’s ever had. From the moment we arrived everything was amazing. Charles was exceptional as were all of the team. The food is seriously good and it’s evident the love and care that goes into creating such beautiful dishes. We loved every dish and the recommendations were spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate for a second to revisit and recommend. My friends told me “best restaurant experience in the region” and I can’t argue. Thanks for a memorable evening. Vegetarian options: Though I’m not vegetarian the chickpea entree was outstanding as was the eggplant parmigiana.
Accidentally discovered this hidden gem and let’s just say the quality of the produce and how it’s cooked is fabulous which is also accompanied by an excellent selection of alcoholic beverages! What we really remembered is the female staff member wearing glasses who answered the phone, booked us in, and looked after us. Service was warm, genuine, and professional. Highly recommend this place.
Amazing service with extremely friendly staff there to talk us through the menu. The food was delicious and we look forward to returning. The bread is an absolute must, so soft and fluffy.
